Born Blossom Lafyetta Butler in New Smyrna Beach, FL on January 15, 1966 to a teenage mom.  As a teenage mom, she made a decision to allow her grandmother to raise her beautiful daughter, whom she named Blossom. Being raised by a loving great-grandmother who believed in some unique home remedies, those remedies later developed detrimental habits for Blossom.

Later Blossom’s mom married and told her that it was time for her to come home. It was a bitter-sweet moment, because it was always just her and her great-grandmother and now she was to live with others and would have to share. Living with her mom, step-dad, and siblings, Blossom was often confused, angry because of sharing, and yet, happy to have play-mates.

Things began to change when Blossom became more relaxed living in this new environment. Her step-dad would treat her differently around others than in private. 

At the age of 16 when she got pregnant on purpose by her boyfriend who promised to marry her and get her out of the house. The child was born and he abandoned her for someone else.  Later, Blossom married a military guy and living in Fort Braggs (Fayetteville, NC) birthed another son. The marriage dwindled and Blossom left the relationship, but didn’t get divorced. She started dating another man and later birthed a third son. By age 23, she was the mother of three sons.

On June 3, 2004, sitting in a crack-house in Daytona Beach, FL, Blossom surrendered by writing a letter to God. She took a piece of paper and pen out of her purse and told God that she was sick and tired of being sick and tired. She smoked and wrote and smoked and wrote. As a lady walked in the room, Blossom told her that she was leaving and never smoking crack again and the lady laughed. Blossom put the note in her purse and walked away from drug abuse, forever.
